3 G League standouts the Cavs could sign to a deal

The Cleveland Cavaliers are tightening things up for the postseason run. That means optimizing each roster spot to best help them win this season and beyond. They will scour the buyout market to look at perimeter players or bigs who can help them more than the players currently in those roster spots.

That included waiving Kevin Pangos, whose role in Cleveland as the team’s third point guard never materialized, and who struggled during his meager minutes on the court. He will likely sign with his former team in CSKA Moscow and leaves behind an open roster spot.

The Cavs might look to the buyout market to use that spot to bolster their veteran bench, but they could also look to the G League to take a flyer on a younger option. They did this last season, hitting on Lamar Stevens, and they could do that again this year by mining the G League for the talent it contains.

Which players balling out in the G League could be an option for the Cavs to sign to a deal before the end of the season?

Most of the best players in the G League are rookies or two-way players already attached to a team, players like Quinndary Weatherspoon, Paul Reed or Miles McBride. Yet some players are waiting to be scooped up, and the Cavs could jump in and add a player to try them out for the future.

The easiest path to do so would be to convert Brandon Goodwin to a full contract, making him eligible to play in the postseason, and using his vacated two-way spot on a player. The Cavs could also look to add an older player in the G League by keeping Goodwin in place for now and signing a player in the G League to a 10-day contract. Who are some candidates the Cavs should take a look at?
